Subject:  Attention all parents who feed hockey players -

 How many times have you driven a hungry hockey player home from the ice rink and wondered what on earth you would feed the kid?  We’re working to solve this common concern – and make some money in the process.

 The Winnetka/New Trier/Wilmette Hockey Clubs are producing a cookbook designed to help busy hockey families get goal-producing meals on the table with a minimum of fuss.  All proceeds from the sale of the cookbook will be contributed directly to the new North Shore Ice Arena.  But we need your help!

 We are currently collecting recipes to include in the new cookbook – Feed Your Face Off.  If you have a favorite recipe or two you would like to share, please go to www.gandrpublishing.com and complete the recipe submission form as quickly as possible.  Log in with the username faceoff1 and the password 1234 to begin typing in your recipe and other information.

 Our recipe collection deadline is May 4th so don’t warm the bench, just get it done.  If your recipe is chosen, you’ll be making hockey players happy for years to come.

 We are seeking recipes that the average time starved hockey parent can put together in a reasonable amount of time.  And, they must be tasty enough to tempt our families to the training table.

We are gathering recipes for the following categories:

Warm Ups – appetizers and snacks

Blue Line Specials – main dishes

Off Sides - side dishes

Sudden Death – desserts, of course

Power Play – carbo-loading recipes to serve before big games

 If you are not blessed with culinary skills, there is another way your family can contribute to this project.  We are also collecting children’s illustrations to decorate the different sections of Feed Your Face Off.  Click here to print a form where your child can draw a picture about life at the rink.  Drawings can be dropped off at the Winnetka or Wilmette hockey rinks in specially designated drop boxes decorated with the Feed Your Face Off cookbook cover.  The deadline for the artwork drop off is also May 4th.

 Once again, go to www.gandrpublishing.com now to find an easy to follow recipe form.  Hockey anecdotes related to submitted recipes are greatly welcomed.  And, please remember to include your name and a recipe title! 

 Thanks for helping us make Feed Your Face Off a fun, unique and profitable collection of favorite family fare.

 If you have any questions please contact Melinda, Michaela or Susan at the e-mail addresses provided above.

 See you at the rink.
